Chad leader to visit Khartoum in June
2007-05-20
Chadian President Idriss Deby will visit Khartoum next month for talks aimed at fully normalising frayed ties with neighbouring Sudan, a Sudanese Foreign Ministry official said on Friday.

The two countries, who have long been at loggerheads over military clashes and rebel activity on their volatile desert frontier, signed a Saudi-brokered reconciliation deal on May 3. They have pledged to cooperate in stabilising war-ravaged Darfur and neighbouring areas of Chad.

The visit was part of efforts to implement a Libyan-sponsored deal to end a crisis between the two countries.
State Minister for Foreign Affairs Al-Samani Al-Wasiyla said the visit was part of efforts to implement a Libyan-sponsored deal to end a crisis between the two countries brokered in Tripoli in February 2006, the state news agency SUNA said. Wasiyla said he had recently visited Chad to convey a message from Sudanese President Omar Hassan al-Bashir to Deby. He did not say what the message was, but said he had discussed with Chadian officials the work of a joint military committee formed as part of efforts to end the border conflict.

United Nations officials said on Friday that the UN intends to send a mission to Chad next week in an attempt to allay government concerns about a proposed U.N. peacekeeping operation in Sudan's western neighbor.
